‘Amazing Race’ 24 Spoilers: Team ‘Brenchel’ Wants Other Contestants Thinking 'We’re Just Here To Hang Out’?
Excitement is building for the newest season of CBS' The Amazing Race, as fan favorite teams from previous seasons all return for another chance at the $1 million prize.
Mallory Ervin Racing Instead of Bopper Minton?
One team that has confirmed their return is 'Team Brenchel,' the Season 20 couple composed of Big Brother winners Rachel Reilly and Brendon Villegas. The couple, who has since married since appearing on the show back in 2012, sat down with CBS to preview their strategies for winning this time around.
" I don't think from just watching Amazing Race that people think we're competitive, because we actually didn't win anything on the last Amazing Race," Reilly, 29, said. "We raced with Rachel and Dave who were like a crazy powerhouse of a couple, and we never won a leg, so I don't think the other teams will probably even take us seriously."

"They probably think we're just here to hang out and be on the Amazing Race, which is exactly what we want them to think," she added.
Reilly and Villegas, who finished in third place during their season, were known for their arguments during their initial season, with Reilly most famously screaming at Brendon when he told her to run during the final leg.
Reilly was also known for freaking out during a leg in India which would require her to shave her head in order to win a Fast-Forward.
The couple swears that married life has made them stronger, and that they won't fight this time around.
"We just celebrated our one year anniversary," Villegas said. "Last time we were also engaged, now we're married so we're not even going to fight anymore at all."
Though the couple doesn't plan to fight this time around, they did reportedly still have some close calls that hinted they would run into trouble during this next installment of the race.
A photo surfaced on a fan's twitter account which showed the couple appearing to struggle with a task in Kuala Lumpur.
Though it's unconfirmed how the couple faired during the race this time around, they admitted to having a special reason why they wanted to win.
"We don't like losing because we're ultra-competitive, and we don't like walking away from things when we haven't won," Villegas said.
"Plus, Brendan promised me if we won this race, we can have babies," Reilly added. "So, that's on the agenda."
